Giants got it Timmy and Koufax

Phogge check out Elmer Valo

The same question Giants answered change to just one no hitter.  There are two to add??

Jim Palmer?   I think Seaver only won one championship.  I know he tossed only one no hitter.  So, no Seaver.  I am out of guesses.

First hit in the Coliseum... Jim Davenport. First batter too.

What Dodger hurt his arm trying to throw a ball from the field over the top of the Coliseum?

DC, sorry to be a nerd (like another trivia buff) but Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Walter Johnson and others were MVP's before the All Star game was organized by Arch Ward.

I assume the question means since the AS game era.

Rogers Hornsby? Willie Hernandez?

Yes I should have been more specific, but I meant the league MVP awards as voted on by the BBWAA, which started in 1931. I was not considering winners of previous incarnations such as the Chalmers awards and the league awards for "all-around service to his club".

Not Hornsby since his last MVPs were prior to the BBWAA era. Hernandez was a three-time all-star.
